One Babo is a Taiwanese franchise established in Quebec, proudly offering an authentic culinary experience from Taiwan to Quebec. At the Côte-Vertu location, One Babo stands out by offering a menu under its Tapas de Taiwan restaurant brand, featuring typical and authentic dishes. We are especially proud to be the very first restaurant in Montreal to serve several dishes inspired by the Taipei night market, bringing you a true taste of Taiwan in the heart of the city.
Overall, reviews portray One Babo as a popular spot for bubble tea and casual bites, with many praising friendly staff, fast service, a vibe conducive to studying and socializing, and a great location with wifi; the boba is a standout and portions are often generous, while the music and ambiance are frequently highlighted as a plus, though some dishes like beef noodle soup can be salty or inconsistent and a few guests note higher prices, limited customization such as removing green onion and cilantro, or occasional cleanliness issues like a piece of plastic in a drink or a bitter tea in a combo; despite mixed feelings about certain dishes, the place remains well liked for the vibe and the boba, with many calling it worth a return visit.
I loveee the Thai Butterfly Pea Blue Tea. Sometimes I go to that area specifically to get it. The food is also very good & the staff is always amazing 😁 I do recommend.

I was disappointed with the contents & portion size of the side dishes (they looked like someone else had taken them), & the pork chop was also very dry.
Beef noodle soup has downgraded. The soup is so salty & tastes like water mix with a lot soya sauce, the beef is hard & not tasty at all. Noodle quality is also different from before. The Boba is still really good though. Overall not bad, there are still better places to eat.
Le bubble tea est littéralement tomber du sac en papiers qui nous donne vu qu'il y avait de l'eau ou je sais pas quoi a l'intérieur mais je viens de perdre 17$ de bubble tea a cause de leurs sac & lorsque je les es appelé il ont dit que le problème c'est moi & que le sac est tout a fait adapté pour sa.
THIS PLACE IS GOATED FOR STUDYING & THE VIBES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! 10^google/10 for this. Thank you for existing one babo. Location is amazing, staff is kind (at least the staff I met) & THE MUSIC IM SO SORRY BUT IT IS AMAZING. AMAZING TASTE IN MUSIC, IN AMBIENCE OUT OF THIS WORLDDDDDDDDDD!!!

Food is decent & bubble tea is good. Beef noodle soup was huge & popcorn chicken was a bit too salty. Plenty of places. Quick service. However, there's no changing table for diaper change in the bathrooms…
Loved my visit to One Babo last Thursday night! The staff were super friendly & helpful. Good food, Cozy vibe & great service. Will definitely be coming back!
waiters are nice, the 2 stars are for them, if not I'll give a 0,strong taste of garlic & cilantro of the soup,disgusting for me, I never had something like this bad before, it's all kind of the same price, this restaurant is even more expensive, too bad, & there's no option to remove the green onion & cilantro, & the tea in the combo tastes bitter, there's also a little piece of plastic or something inside, not clean! Don't buy the drink, it's 3 dollars yes but it's still waist of money,& the noodles are not the same as they put on ad, it's just the noodle you could buy in any chinese supermarket...So idk why it costs this much even more than handmade noodles🤯

It's a unique place with really good bubble tea. The large size for some drinks come in a nice big cup & you can keep sipping it for a long time. Great for Summers!.
I had the general tao with rice & soup of the day (some kind of corn chowder). The portion was pretty generous & the food was good. I also had the Oreo bubble tea, which contained some Oreo crumbs. While it was good & had a generous amount of tapioca pearls in it, it was a little expensive at $7.55 before tax. The foam on top of the drink was also a little salty which I didn't particularly enjoy. Overall a good experience, the atmosphere is nice & the inside of the place looks great.
Très bon menoum miam miam. L'endroit est très grand & dispose de quelques prises électriques pour faciliter l'étude ou le travail. De plus, le service est plutôt rapide & bin fin.
Tried their #1 One Babo milk tea & #9 Hokkaido boba milk tea. Both were very good, with perfectly soft & chewy bobas. I wish they had a hot taro boba milk tea on the menu, but they only seem to have the taro slush.
